Ifna14 - interferon alpha 14 Gene

Predicted to enable cytokine activity and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including B cell activation; lymphocyte activation involved in immune response; and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever; common cold; hepatitis B; Liver Disease (multiple); and sarcoidosis. Orthologous to several human genes including IFNA10 (interferon Alpha 10); IFNA14 (interferon Alpha 14); and IFNA16 (interferon Alpha 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
